DGP already puts out their own magazine called travellers digest,
unfortunately (As far as I know) the publishing schedule has been extremely
erratic. There are quite a few "fanzines" for traveller as well, some more
professional than others.
As for us publishing something... I think that would be difficult time
consuming, and probably pove unworkable.

The point of the NPC database is to have character backgrounds, and
objectives so that they can be used as major NPC's instead of flat
characters. Unfortunnately these take a while to develop.
Thanks for the people anyways. I'll add them to my 101 characters, and
veterens.

P.S. I seem to be getting more than one message a day. Is this because james
has gone away, and now the program is acting up, or is it just because of
length? (I preferred the optional instant delivery, as I don't have a
un digestifier).
